Then I delved in to more from artists I've loved forever - Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Elbow, Mos Def, Alanis Morissette, Tom Waits and Sinead O'Connor. There's something in every single one of these artists that have really inspired 21." Available here on vinyl, complete with a digital download.

Open Book: The Life and Death of Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse’s bright star burned out on July 23 2011. Amy lived a rock-star lifestyle to the max, replacing an addiction to drugs with a battle against alcohol. When she died, aged 27, she joined a long list of musicians whose lives had been tragically cut short at the same age – the likes of Jim Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison. In the end she died alone in her bed. A bodyguard kept her protected from the outside world, but nobody could protect her from herself…
From the Judges
"Her music was powerful and her problems were many. Sadly, 2011 is marked by her passing and this book opens our eyes to why." - Dana Holmes, Gifts.com
